Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Così Blu Extrait

This one is a total curveball - people either absolutely love its "addictive" and "energising" intensity or find it utterly unwearable. Expect churchy incense, spiced absinthe, and animalic undertones; it’s no crowd-pleaser but it will certainly get you noticed.

Our Verdict - Vanilla Black Pepper Parfum

This one is a divisive whisper. Some find a fleeting pepper kick followed by a lovely, mellow vanilla. Others are left searching for any spice, finding only a 'clean' vanilla that dissipates far too quickly. It's a skin scent champion, but perhaps not a crowd-pleaser.

Its mild projection and skin-scent longevity make it ideal for office and casual wear, where it won't overpower. Its lack of intensity and classic formal notes means it's less suited for formal events or sports.
